I only just noticed how inactive this board (let alone my topic) has been lol

I finally got around to drawing one of the two members here that I bounced ideas off Fairy and Zero some while back. Who is it? Behind the spoiler:

Spoiler:

My attempt at reimagining Queen in my style. Based off Meri Knight and Caeda/Shiida primarily. Her weapon is a combination staff/lance/pseudo-Keyblade/pseudo-axe that can change length and its blade ends can swivel and fan out or collapse as deemed necessary. There's a slight allusion to the common depiction of the chess queen's crown at the top of her greaves and the 'base' of the weaponized section of the lance/staff/blade thing (so near her left hand) as well. I'm wondering if I missed any obvious symbols besides the hearts/stars/moons/wings that I saw when browsing Queen's art thread, hm…

Hmm.. Tbh TSL's design of Queen [impo] looks like more of a character redesign for her to be included in a Fire Emblem video game. Interesting take on her oc, but I like Queen's smoothness with her oc with how her hair seems to flow. The way her hair looks in this design seems like it's matted or something. o-o" I like the armor & weapon she's using though: very nice touch. (:

I actually had in my planning notes about the Thunder Magic. I also was considering having Summons with Pokeballs and a Skylanders inspired steed since well the Pegasus Rider intention. xP Didn't eventuate since I became a bit more obsessed with the 'Keyblade'/lance/axe/staff hybrid.

I admit I tend to make my character designs more battle ready than most people xP Like I mentioned somewhere I used Caeda/Shiida as a design reference so FE would understandably come through

I'm going to attribute the matte texture of the hair to how I create the hair effect with pencil (since I don't usually do a gradient fill like this)
